It's not even in PRI's hands now. You'd need to talk to the new owners to see when (or if) they are going to start building or if they are willing to let the circuit. I know of rumours but from the last I heard, that's all they are. CJ - PRI
Love the place grew up watching banger racing and raced in the rookie bangers 2012, 2014 and 2018. Great memories will be missed. The only way is arena Essex 🏁
Grew up watching my dad race here in the #6 outlaw hot rod, even had a chance around the track myself in a mini sprint when I was 6, would love for this to open again so I could take my kids one day.
What a waste. When of the all time great banger tracks which was at its prime in the early 90's before it became all cliquey. The Firecracker meetings were unreal.
get me back there! used to work in one of the shops in the building that has now been destroyed, only went round the track a couple times but dont think i missed a meeting there from when i was born! First meet a week old... Grew up taking pictures around this place
I raced there in 2017 in a ninja kart, first time racing in England. Definitely the best track that I have ever raced at it’s a shame what has happened to it, would love to see it opened again
@@Lord_Leany definitely deserves to be open racing was awesome especially on the 90s squad v condoms v custard creams hearing the sound of 2.3 litre cortina’s going in full chat
First track I raced at when I was 13 trying out a 1600cc Hot Rod. Such a shame what has become of it. There is a main sewer located underneath which will cost the property developers too much to build on it, hence its left to rot.
Hello mate, thanks for getting in touch. I got the footage from a "anonymous" source. So I can't help you, im afraid. The land was brought brought to build houses on if that helps, maybe someone in the comments can help?
Interesting to see the speedway team are trying hard to be allowed to reopen it maybe the cars will be allowed back as we’ll apparently the building company have given up on the plans to build houses there
@@Lord_Leany I used to go there on regular basis but then they were not maintaing it and it ended up a dump and now even more of a dump as you can see .

Towiae lol
Would love a pound for every mk 1 and 2 Granada thats been wrecked there😂
You would be a rich man
@@Lord_Leany haha, yep
@matthewcadle7200 thanks for watching

That would be nice
Got some great memory’s in there. Sad to see it gone to waste.
It's such a waste standing there unused
So sad to see it with out som old bangers blasting into each other😢😢
It's such a waste
So many good memories of arena Essex
You and so many others
Should never of closed
Or left to rot
What a waste. When of the all time great banger tracks which was at its prime in the early 90's before it became all cliquey. The Firecracker meetings were unreal.
It's not like it used to be

It's a shame it's just sitting there unused
@@Lord_Leany yeah doubt anything will ever happen though. Too much to do not enough interest
@lewisclarke-bull3666 like I said it's such a waste. I don't know this video has had alot of interest
@@Lord_Leany aha we're a passionate group
@@lewisclarke-bull3666 we can dream lol

It's just being left to rot, yes it's a shame

@TimG2553 Like everyone else in the comments, I agree. But who is going to do it?

It's a waste! It's not in that bad condition considering it's been left for years
Love the place!! I wanna tour round the pits aswell for some reason just for memories i think
It's peaceful, seen a few rabbits and a deer
R.I.P. A banger home now gone.
It's still there, just being left to rot
Hey bud, quick question. Did you need to get permission to walk the grounds and if so from whom?
Hello mate, thanks for getting in touch. I got the footage from a "anonymous" source. So I can't help you, im afraid. The land was brought brought to build houses on if that helps, maybe someone in the comments can help?
Banger racing
Yes mate
how did you get in i wonder?
I got the footage from a anonymous source 😉 I could ask him
@@Lord_Leany Not worth the effort of asking him. If he's anonymous he won't know his name!
@brmh1667 yeah, I never thought of that
1 word WHERE
It's in Essex mate
Where abouts is this? I fancy taking my Focus for a spin!
You would have to smash it through a few gates lol, goggle arena Essex
It's such a shame. Got some amazing memories here.
Omg is this the place that used to be a professional go kart track?
@@chrisjay1-chrisj1 yes it's a dying sport
@richards6098 I'm not sure about go karting mate
So sad to see.
Yes, it's just sitting there not being used
Think that arse fell out of the Property sharks market as been dormant a long time now
It wouldn't take much to open it again, cut the grass and plumbing
Its because there is a main sewer running underneath that would cost far too much to adapt and build luxury apartments on.
Chic Woodrough. Rings a Bell ?
What do you mean mate?
He was the owner of it and had it built I think
@russnunn2456 ohhh, makes sense now thank you
Interesting to see the speedway team are trying hard to be allowed to reopen it maybe the cars will be allowed back as we’ll apparently the building company have given up on the plans to build houses there
@russnunn2456 from what I've seen in the comments, I don't think they can build on the land. It makes sense to reopen it
that place was a shit hole in the end
Really? I'm not from that way
@@Lord_Leany I used to go there on regular basis but then they were not maintaing it and it ended up a dump and now even more of a dump as you can see .
@rudeboz5486 it isn't too bad everything considered
Was some track home of the squad 💛❤
@@denniscunningham961 which squad was that?
